and amid I struck the hot bot trail of three deer headed for tho the timber timber tim tim- ber up UI amon among the tho clouds New snow which had hail fn fallen en the ni night ht before gave e a us a clean trail which indicated we were a few hours behind behin tho the game We Ve got ot down to business U Ln earnest st and in in about t two o hours during dur thur- lag ing in which time wo we had Iad been going up continuously over oyer ridges c where tho the new snow sno on tho the loose rocks made step a gamble saw signs Ihn that led cd us to believe the thc shooting n would commence in a fo few ow minutes minute The Tho wind was at our backs however however how how- ever e and anil the leer deer got our scent Their tracks which hart hall previously previous indicated a a. leisurely gait rait hC began n to lengthen out into going goiri strides tr cl and anil we C steadied down own for or a lone long drive Where those thOM deer took us was a a. shame They Thoy picked out the tho roughest country you over ever saw over oer rocks and through brush that aman aman a aman man would not go JO into for or anything hut lunt a deer deor They had been beon holdin holding to tho the rid ridge e but now their trails too took I us tiM into tho the ravines Down one ono side I and up tho the other until we began to think there thero wasn't anything in the world but rn ravines Tho The going soing had been beon hard bard before but now it was WM worse l For or another two hours bours wo we expected to find them thorn just over the rid ridge c but wo we always s had another rid ridge o comin coming Those deer were simply stringing ins us along Until wo we would got get too tired to follow them farther Finally I the wind chan changed ed Believing Be Bo li hewing lieving inK that they the were only ono ra ra- ra I vine ahead of us we wo took advantage o of the tho change an and put the last of our strength h into a final effort to overtake overtake over over- take them It had bad commenced snowing snowing snow snow- in ing and amid by the tho time wo we reached the tho next rid ridge e wo we were ero in a veritable blizzard blizzard bliz- bliz zard rard coming head on The n next t was awfully hard to make but Boille took it like a seasoned hunter Crawling Craw Crawl In lug ing over oer tho the top I spotted a n. beautiful buck working his way through the brush in the bottom of or the ravine beloW below bolow be bo- low us and antI about yards awa oW awayA away A man never nover hunts so 90 lon long that ho he doesn't got get et a a. little excited when whon he finan finally has his game came in si sight ht Pulling Pulling Pull pun in ing down behind his forelegs I fired and ho dropped Tho The shot started another another an an- other big one from cover and as quick as a flash flah Reilley had her down Tho The buck was on his feet in an nn instant and andI I knocked him down again prize got ot to her heT feet and his second shot hit her awfully hard The buck wouldn't stay down and for tho the third time I kno knocked ked him off his feet The Tho third on ono of the bunch a 0 lar largo large e doe doD was making makins her way over tho the ridge be beyond yond If you dont don't think wo we wanted to try our marksmanship on her you aro are t wrong We had com como come a a. lonc- lonc way I and it seemed a shame to let one get getaway ct away When we got ot to the tho buck bucl we found him lying with his feet uphill and his Ins head doubled und under r him Hemey started for his hill deer which had harl dropped farther up the gulch and 1 proceeded to bleed the buck Laying the tho gun gunso so I could reach it easily I I took out tho the old knife that had bad bled many a abuck abuck buck before him As ho be la lay it was was necessary to pull puB his head hend from him hint so as not to spoil the neck for Taking hold of oC his horns horn a b beautiful aut ful pair of five points i i twisted his head from front under tinder un cr him Right then ho gave ve me mo tho the surprise of ot my life I have ha heard many tales ot the strength n b of or a wounded buck buk and anil wh when n that hat boy bof tossed s d me inc a as quick J 5 as a nash about thirty feet down eown the tao hill hm I believed ed them all Well Voll tho the gun V was 8 thirty feet above mo 1110 and the tho buck was beating it down the tho draw headed for the thick brush I Ilat sat lat there there like a wooden n man too dumfounded dumfounded dum dum- founded to oven avon shout to And that after I r had knocked knock rl him down three times with a Wo We W 0 dressed s 's deer leer and aud took up tho the trail of the wounded buck which h was leaving a pool JOOl of blood at every jump He took us right back over 11 tho the trail trai wo we had come como only skirting lower down His Mis vitality and anel endurance were marvelous for wo never noer cot ot si sight ht of of him for another three hours bour We found him he had laid down for forthe forthe forthe the first time timo and unable to get set up II When wo we dressed him wo we found fount that any one ono of the thc three shots bols must have havo proven fatal and it is a matter of wonder to each of us that ho was able ablo to get et up at all aJ We Wo reached camp all in and Walker Walk Walk- er or and Finch who had not becu as fortunate fortunato as w we started out with horses to brin bring in tho the kill It was 10 0 o'clock dock wohn wahn they the returned and ancl if you don dont don't I t I think those deer doer did some traveling R ask k tho boys |
